as a fan of both the game and the show/internet fandom/whatever else is out there, I would like to say this mod is awesome!
a few questions and comments though.
1: does this work on top of other mods, my guess, yes, after configuration, I'll be testing this myself later. minor mods, like custom buildings and reaction, nothing like a giant overhaul.
2:this mod looks freaking cool.
3:would it work with texture packs? I think like 1 it'd just need to be fiddled with till it would, and, someone should make a pony sprite.
4: I was RAW surfing and found your thing for the custom food. you are a sly trickster you, inserting that reference.. 

heheheh, again though, this just proves 1:DF can be moded for most anything. and 2:Anything can be pony-ified.

There's a tweaking and modding guide in the readme and resources folder that says what requires what and what changes have been made to vanilla content, but I've been careful to keep the mod's footprint low. For custom reactions and buildings, you'll obviously need to add their permissions to the entity files. I also put in a wood painting and conjuring template, which you can use to make any plant from another mod compatible in ten seconds flat. There'll be a dough template included in the next version.

3:would it work with texture packs? I think like 1 it'd just need to be fiddled with till it would, and, someone should make a pony sprite.

 I've seen people using it with texture packs, but the MLF stuff just appear as ASCII. adecoy95 did some great little sprites a couple of months back, but I've been busy IRL and working on various bits of bugstomping and haven't found the time to get them to work.
 I wonder if there's a flowery character set? You know, just the normal ASCII in a prettier font.

Thanks for answering the questions, I looked in the folder about that, still wasn't sure. next fort WILL be a pony fort...
also, are there any other hidden references in there?

not quite as hidden, but a crapshoot actually seeing it ingame:

I found by looking in the raws a few odd things...

[PREFSTRING:enticing hindquarters]

and

one or two of these seem out of place...

I don't see anything off, you must be seeing things

I think he means that torturing for example/information or on animals is considered very wrong, but for fun tortures fine.

[Nidokoenig]

It's more about the playing pranks stuff. It's also a freaky ethic to have to spice up world gen.

[drilltooth]

keep in mind, at the time the ethics were defined, all anyone outsid ethe studio knew of Discord was the name, if that.

It was a joke. I emphasized the ethic by making it the only one there.

Cupcakes.

Hey Nido, still playing around in the raws and I noticed that you had removed the ability for pony entities to make short swords. Was that a deliberate removal or...?

In any case, right now I'm attempting to splice together the BattleCraft adventurer's mod and Mechanixm's Vanilla DF Plus with this one and see how well they mesh. Here's hoping nothing explodes in the interim.

[RexMundi]

oh yeah, tried submitting this to EqD, but turns out someone beat me to it a while back 
later today I'll be testing it with the mods I use.

and I realized, if a earth/pegases pony can only grasp with their mouth, how do they wield a crossbow? and with a mod I use, rifles too? >.>

MAGIC!
In all seriousness, I'm sure pony mechanists have no doubt developed out an ingenious system that allows those who are less magically inclined to comfortably handle weapons and tools using only their mouth, teeth, lips, and tongue.

Exactly what system that is, I could not tell you. Go ask a unicorn. :p

(I've always imagined crossbows and the like being strapped to the side of the pony while they manipulate the trigger and ammo with their mouth.)

The crossbow probably is not like humanoid ones. It is most likely similar to a reign, with the trigger inside the ponies mouth. The mechanisms would be on the sides, along with the string. The string would wrap around the front corners, and the bolt could be either loaded into some kind of chamber in the front, or the crossbow could hold 2 bolts at once, and have one on each side.

Yes, I just applied logic to a pony fired crossbow.

[Nidokoenig]

Yeah, I removed shortswords and added whips and daggers. Seemed like a sensible trade-off, since shortswords are bit big to mouth-wield.

Technically, they shouldn't be able to wield crossbows, they're two handed weapons, must be a bug in DF itself. But, as we saw in The Ticket Master, even earth ponies and pegasi have enough telekinetic ability to grasp a ticket, so presumably they can pull triggers with it. I'm more worried about how milking works.

If you're splicing this together with other mods and something fun/Fun results, feel free to post it on dffd, just be sure to get permission from the other modders.
